Closures:
The binding was closed with two brass clasps attached in the traditional English manner with the hasp catching onto the back cover. The hasps are missing, but they were originally attached to leather straps lined to vellum (previously cut away). The strap plates were simple (not decorated) rectangular brass plates. The catch plates are large decorated square brass plates with iron catch bars, chased with five acorn decorations. All pieces have been attached to the boards with cut brass nails.
